Veteran TV director David Nutter will be at the helm of all six episodes of the first season of The Time Traveler’s Wife.

Steven Moffat’s adaptation of the Audrey Niffenegger novel has begun shooting in New York for HBO.

The series will star Rose Leslie (HBO’s “Game of Thrones”), Theo James (“Divergent”), Desmin Borges (“You’re the Worst”) and Natasha Lopez (“Runner Runner”).

An intricate and magical love story, the series tells the story of Clare and Henry, and a marriage with a problem… time travel.

Moffat who is also executive producer said,: “This is a story of loss but it’s not a tragedy. It’s about a time traveler but it’s not science fiction. Despite Clare and Henry’s time scrambled relationship, this is the tale of a grand, ordinary love – but not necessarily in that order. This is a dream project for me. I have always loved Audrey Niffenegger’s extraordinary, moving novel and it has inspired me many times, so to be adapting it for television is the thrill of a lifetime. Working with David Nutter is a joy and an honour already, and with Rose Leslie and Theo James as Clare and Henry, and Natasha Lopez and Desmin Borges as Charisse and Gomez, this is going to be the love story we need right now.”

Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Drama Programming added: “Steven Moffat is the perfect writer to bring this beloved book and genre-bending story about marriage to life. We also couldn’t be more thrilled that David Nutter will be returning to HBO to direct all episodes of the season.”
